Most of us are so busy that we really have to Make Time! to be with and play with our kids.  If we are not conscious of it the day may pass without being there for them, the week will have gone by and we have not really connected, and worse their childhood may be over before we even played with them in the rain.

Make the time to play!

We are so lucky to be surrounded by parents who love being part of their children’s lives as we are.

Our good friends,  Tita Connie and Tita Ime, out of  their own initiative organized a “PLAYDAY” for our kids.  It was inspired by the Playday initiatives in UK, where parents organize with other parents to take the time to play with their children.

It recognizes that we in our ever busy schedules need to consciously TAKE THE TIME to play with our kids .

The great news is you can organize your own!

Having a playday is not so hard.

Its really simple, all you need to do is do it:

  1. Check playday.org.uk for inspiration and support
  2. Think of simple games you can play with your kids
  3. Drop your inhibitions
  4. Be like your child and ENJOY!
  5. Let your imagination be your guide and inspiration.

This actually happened the day we went to Cory’s home last year.  But the message still is true, no better time than today to share it.

How many parents have the time, much less make the effort to do share it with other parents?  Thank you Tita Connie and Tita Ime for including our families in your Playday.  You are such inspirations.
